Andrew Yang Vs Ben Shapiro Debate Review #YangGang

Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And so we finally got it. Yang Gang, Andrew Yang, Ben Shapiro. They had this interview that happened today. Uh, some people were calling it a debate. I don't think it was a debate. Uh, I think, um, it was more of an interview setting and I thought Andrew Yang did very, very well. On this, and I, you know, Ben Shapiro's line of questioning, you know, some people feel Ben Shapiro was a bit weak on Andrew Yang. I thought he did good because with the line of questioning, and I think it was the appropriate setting. Ben Shapiro had said, you know, days earlier, I believe, that it wasn't gonna be this type debate. But knowing Ben Shapiro, as we all know Ben Shapiro, many of us who are familiar with Ben Shapiro, We know Ben Shapiro has a personality, a way of getting those questions over in a debate-like form. And that was no exception today. But I, you know, I got to see, uh, President Andrew Yang or what will be President Andrew Yang in very good form today. Uh, and he, uh, I felt he, I think this is the best, I think I've seen him at his best today, how he, how he handled the, the questioning. So, you know, what we got with being Shapiro was a lot of these same arguments we get, you know, with the universal basic income, now changed to Freedom Dividend. And that is the idea that people are going to get this thing, it's going to take meaning away from them because they're They're gonna apparently quit their jobs. And, you know, it's not gonna solve, you know, the problems that it's targeted to solve. So one problem I had even going into this with Ben Shapiro's viewpoint on it was that, I believe it was on the Joe Rogan Show when he had announced to Joe Rogan that he was gonna do this debate with, Andrew Yang or have him on the show. Um, and he was— and, and they were basically saying, you know, Ben Shapiro was saying that people are going to get the $1,000, they're not going to work, and, and, and, you know, they're not going to be productive to society, basically. Now, they were saying that on one hand. Now, on the next hand, they were saying, well, the $1,000 wasn't going to be enough. What was it going to do? Uh, and so which one is it, right? You know, we, we got, you know, which one is it in this argument? Is the $1,000 enough to make it so people won't work, you know, or is it not enough to where they're going to get it and it's going to help out a bit but they still got to work? So I, I think they need to clarify, uh, you know, where, you know, what exactly statement they're trying to make specifically about that, right? Because it can't be both. It can't be, uh, you're gonna quit, you know, it's enough to make you quit working. Oh, but it is enough, right? Um, you know, also I thought it was very important how Andrew Yang shaped the entire conversation. You know, really, to just be straight with you all, what Andrew Yang said, uh, in question to Ben Shapiro about the freedom dividend, first of all, not being welfare but being our money, I think it ends this entire questioning and debate of should Americans have UBI or not. And let me explain. If we were to compare a corporation that issues a dividend, let's take Apple, let's take, uh, Amazon, whatever, Microsoft, and you were a shareholder and you went to shareholders meeting and they say, well, we're declaring a dividend, every shareholder is going to get X amount of dollars, right? Can you imagine someone in that meeting going, well, you know what, if you give us a dividend, that will be giving us free money. And you know, that's, you know, that's crazy. That would hurt the company. Do you think that anybody would stand up and say something like that? Or even think it was a good idea in that dividends are so much a part of how prospering corporations work and how rewarding shareholders work. And you're not really rewarding shareholders, remember, you're just giving shareholders back generally profit and revenue on their investment into that company. Now, America works pretty much the same as a corporation. We, many of us call it the American corporation, right? So as a citizen, as a person who's contributing to the taxes of America over the last century, some of us, uh, now many of us contributing to the success of the American, uh, corporation of the country. That if someone like Andrew Yang says we should declare a dividend to all of our shareholders in this nation, we would consider that welfare, right? That would be ridiculous to consider anything like that welfare. So I like the way how Andrew Yang reshapes that and how it changes the whole outlook on that. Richest nation in the world, it should be benefits to that. You know how many nations in the world issue their citizens tens of thousands of dollars per year, pay for their weddings, pay for their vacations, and a variety of things. Even if you go back to ancient Rome, you know, prior to the Dark Ages, you know, even getting up into the Dark Ages, you still had many more benefits to being a Roman citizen in ancient times than every other country, right? So, so the point I'm making is, yes, there should be benefits given to rich nations to their citizens, uh, and those benefits shouldn't be classified as welfare, no more than it was classified, uh, as that in many of these other, uh, examples I've given. So I liked how he reshaped that. Now another problem I think Ben Shapiro got in a lot with, uh, the questioning of Andrew Yang, because, you know, as we got to see, uh, many of us who watching Yang Gang, as we watch this, I think the Yang Gang is pretty satisfied with what we got with Andrew Yang on the Ben Shapiro Show. I thought it was going to be Ben Shapiro really just trying to dig dig and dig at him, similar to what Jimmy Dore did, right? The Jimmy Dore Show, Jimmy Dore attacked them on minimum wage real hard. Now, of course, Ben Shapiro wasn't gonna do that, 'cause see, and this is the interesting thing about Andrew Yang, because Andrew Yang is the president for America. He is acceptable to a great degree on both sides. I don't think there's been a candidate in history like that in a long time. Probably going back to like World War II who could do something like that. Um, but apparently Andrew Yang can do it. And, and, you know, he, he, he's talking about a lot of Trump supporters that, uh, come up to him all the time, which, which we're all starting to see, you know. So Andrew Yang is heading down to the, into the, into the, uh, the, the main, the mainstream. But getting back, you know, getting back to that about, you know, the idea of work, right? That, that's, uh, you know, is it working? Who should receive this or not? The non-working shouldn't. Well, another thing that happened important in this was how Andrew Yang, uh, went into what work is, right? He always gives the example of his wife at home taking care of his children, being a full-time mom, which in addition to that, one of his children, as I understand it, is autistic, which means she has to give that child probably a great deal more care and attention, uh, than normal. Now, for us to make the, uh, uh, or put out the idea that the parameters of work wouldn't include that, then what would it include? Because if, if it doesn't include that, and there are many examples of that, then there are children who take care of their ill and grandparents, right? Uh, there's so many examples of that. There are some jobs where people just sit down all day, and we might make an argument that the job that they're doing, uh, might not even be worth the pay and salary is getting, right? And that job in comparison to maybe someone's like Andrew Yang's wife or some of the other examples I've given, work and tasks that go on in society that aren't— people aren't compensated for. How much is that worth and what's the value of that? Because what came out a lot in this interview between Ben Shapiro and Andrew Yang was not so much just about, you know, if you watch my channel a lot, we talk about money a lot. And one thing I try to stress is that money is a reflection of the energy we put out, right? Money doesn't exist. Money really isn't real. So when you talk about money, you're really talking about the actions we take and the moves we make, right? There is no money. right? It's just limited control of resources, right? And who does what to gain the right to control that. Isn't— it's not the dollars that's in your pocket, right? So the people, unless you're like a sociopath or you're psychotic or something, at some point in your life you may come to the point that people are more important than material things and objects, right? Inanimate objects. And, uh, when you do that, then you start to move on from that, and then you start to realize that meaning is what's important in the aspect of the control of these resources. Meaning that people have to extract value and meaning from those ideas, these conceptualized ideas of money as it moves value. So people are more important than that, right? And that's what Andrew Yang was bringing out. And what Ben Shapiro is trying to understand is that where would the value come from then? Is money the problem? And Andrew Yang brilliantly answers during this interview that no, it's not. But what it does do is it sets up the foundation uh, in the circumstances, in the environment, so that you can now begin to seek what true value is, right? Because you can't do that if your brain is not functioning right because you haven't had anything to eat, because you can't afford to eat anything. Can't do that if you're not healthy because, uh, you, uh, you know, you aren't getting the nutrition you want, so you're less nutritious. Can't do that if, uh, you're not educated because You can't go to school, uh, and learn in school because the surrounding environment for you is so terribly bad that it prohibits you from all of that. So Ben Shapiro is from that camp of pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Now, you know, the problem with a person like Ben Shapiro is somebody like Ben Shapiro comes from a great home. He's a lawyer. His wife is a doctor, you know, and these are people who've probably had the best parents, the best environment, the best mentors, the best community, all of the things to make it much more susceptible to them to get to a point of which he's speaking of in comparison to inner city children and people that Andrew Yang's actually worked with. He understands how that works. This is what he's come up with. Now I'm going to trust Andrew Yang, a millionaire businessman, entrepreneur, lawyer, engineer, uh, who's worked with inner city children and came up with models, uh, in order to find out what works best for them. I think that makes him greatly qualified, right? Um, and so that was, that was all very, very interesting. Now it does seem like Ben Shapiro got a lot in the foreign policy. That was interesting. I thought he would have did that, as many believe that's Andrew Yang's weakest point, that, you know, he doesn't, you know, deal a lot with foreign policy. Uh, and so we didn't really get to see many— that was mostly just about where the money, you know, came from, right? And got to talk about the VAT tax and, uh, Amazon, uh, and getting the money from Amazon, and then kind of going into this, you know, this idea that, uh, uh, you know, a lot of time it alludes to we're taking money over here unfairly. But the reverse to that is companies like Amazon who paid no taxes last year are unfairly not contributing back to the system. That's where a lot of this unfairness comes from. And, and how do you correct that when lawyers, corporations, and businesses can beat the tax system? They can beat the tax code. Why are they able to beat it? Because people, you know, as Andrew Yang brought out in the interview, that he, you know, as him and Ben Shapiro are both attorneys, they started to speak about how some of their friends were teaching many of these companies and rich people how to beat the tax code, right? And they're gonna keep doing that until you issue something like a VAT tax, which makes it almost impossible for them to beat it, right? Unless they're not conducting any commerce. And so that's why that was also very important. I thought he brought it out very, very well. Touched on the Medicare part. Ben Shapiro didn't like really the single payer system, right? And I'm, you know, You know, it seems like Andrew Yang was trying to make that, you know, basically he was listening to what Ben Shapiro said, and Ben Shapiro made some good points about that. And Andrew Yang, you know, went on to talk about how the problems with employers, you know, not hiring because now they gotta pay all this insurance and what have you. And so good points on both sides. Now with the Medicare for All stuff, You know, I've always been open to that. Uh, you know, I think if some people are getting a— if everybody gets $1,000 a month, uh, that being able to pay your monthly insurance premiums in some cases, or a portion of them, uh, if it wasn't a single-payer system, I don't, I don't think that— if you're getting $1,000 already, I would think that would help a lot in that. I don't think that'd be that big of a deal. But, uh, this has been the push with the Medicare and the UBI, and so I'm on board with Andrew with that. That's just me personally, but I understand the importance of that and why we need something like that in the system. Now some people wanna take it a step further. They want all of that, and then they want on top of that minimum wage paid, all this stuff. And you know, Andrew Yang's a numbers person, so he's factoring all the numbers, but now there are gonna be limits to How he's gonna be able to do all of this and the raise on minimum wage as well, and a variety of these things. And so, again, just an awesome, awesome interview. You know, Ben Shapiro, you know, here's my personal opinion. I think Ben Shapiro likes Andrew Yang much like Tucker Carlson. I think they all kinda secretly like each other, and that's a good thing, right? Wouldn't we rather have a situation where we can have people that'll work together and actually like each other as opposed to the latter, which would be circuses in Washington, D.C., where nobody can get anything done? And so I think that'd be a much better situation. But, uh, I like the guys, you know, Andrew Yang will be doing his CNN town hall meeting. Uh, I believe it's April 14th. So gonna be looking forward to that. Um, and, uh, he was on, uh, um, uh, CNBC. Um, so he's getting a lot of these more, um, mainstream interviews just recently here. Um, and, uh, that's all excellent because a lot of American people do not know who Andrew Yang is. They're going to be meeting him for the first time, uh, on a debate stage, but he's getting ever so closer to, uh, uh, formally introducing himself to the American people. And as we can see how he's handling these interviews, right, we can see that, uh, Andrew Yang's gonna go gonna do quite well because I don't think people are gonna know what hits them when they try to debate him because see Andrew Yang, his style of debate, I think it's gonna take them out of their game because we've had a lot of nonsensical debating over the last few decades. And this kind of, the debate style Andrew Yang uses, I know a lot of people don't like it because a lot of people like a lot of the emotional interjection and one-liners And Andrew Yang is more about the facts and the numbers and the process of how this works and not about the show and the circuses and the lies and the acting and all that. So he's more of a genuine candidate in that area. But I think he's going to do quite well. I think we are getting tired of the circus now. And I think a lot of people are going to say, you know what? It's time the American people spent their own money. We got to get the money out of you government people's hands mismanaging our money. You don't care as much about our money and how it's spent as we do. And so that's what we need to do. That's the approach and the process we need to be at. And we need to come into that with, it is our money. It is not welfare. It is not how can we pay for Uh, it is our money and, uh, and we have the right, I believe, to look at it that way, uh, and, and make this economy work and help these people who are going to be displaced out of work. That was a— that was another point Ben Shapiro brought up quite a bit, that this would change like every— like the Industrial Revolution, right? That it would just be that. And Andrew Yang, of course, brought up Labor Day You know, again, speaking about Labor Day not being an easy transaction, but being riots and killings, uh, as the, uh, industrialization happened. And that, that's why we have Labor Day in the first place, is the holiday, uh, to, to commemorate that and as a reminder of that, of, as of what happened, right? But he goes on to say that according to statistics, that it's going to probably be 4 or 5 times more to affect. How ridiculous is it to compare what we have in advancements in technology and robotics to the Industrial Revolution, right? Think about this for a second. Since the jump, since the time of the Industrial, Industrial, uh, Industrial Revolution up until now, we've had the emergence of flight, air flight, intercontinental flight, uh, transcontinental flight rather. We've had space travel, you know, and all that stuff. And then now we're, we're about to create artificial minds, right? A, a, some version of some artificial type human who would do everything we could do, would do it better. And To look at stuff like that and then transition on to, oh, but we will find they will go on to do other jobs. How do you know that? How do you know they'll be able to survive in fitness world? Now, I don't like to talk about IQs and stuff like that a lot because there, there, there has been many comparison to IQs and racism. One group is smarter than the other. I don't know anything about that, and I have to do research on that, and I don't really care about that. But what I do believe is this, that there are different levels of intelligence, uh, in our world between human beings. And in these human beings, I believe there might be a learning limit to some people, right? And it might be that just some people, there are certain tasks these people aren't going to be able to get even if you try to transition them to another type of work, right? So, um, to even make a statement like you can transition to another job and you'll be doing this job and things like that. We don't, we don't really know that. Then if you say, well, you should work, uh, to get the UBI, then how do you, how are you defining work? Because, uh, a lot of things could be defined as work and seem like work, right? Maybe me doing this YouTube video could, could be seen as work to some people, and some, and some people might say, education, you just sitting up here shooting the breeze, that's of no value to anybody. Right? So we need parameters of work that are more broader now going into this technological revolution as Andrew Yang touches on. And we know people work hard and aren't compensated. So we really need to look at the full advantages of what the Freedom Dividend is gonna offer us. Compared to the situation we're in right now. Um, and I think we're getting ever so closer to really having that conversation on that debate stage and Andrew Yang becoming the president of the United States, which he should certainly become that. Uh, I don't see any other candidate like Andrew Yang. I think he's a once in a lifetime, in a generation type candidate. I don't think we'll ever see quite anybody like Andrew Yang either. Well, maybe some people try to copycat Andrew Yang. If he's successful with this approach, we might start to see a lot of mathematicians and numbers people, you know. So we can't say that. I'm surprised we haven't seen somebody jump up trying to act like Donald Trump yet, but I think maybe Donald Trump's one of a kind. But guys, that's all I got to say in this video. Let me know what you thought about this interview between Ben Shapiro and Andrew Yang, and let me know if you think that Andrew Yang, uh, performed well, how he'll do at the debates. Uh, you know, it's clear to me that Andrew Yang, this is debate style. Now some people, I've been hearing this around, I haven't done any research on it myself, but I just been kept stumbling across that Andrew Yang was actually part of a debate team that went to London to debate in the back in the '90s or something. And, uh, I don't have a lot of information about that. Uh, I, you know, but maybe I've heard some of you saying as well. And so, Andrew Yang could be that, that have that. So if that is true, then that would mean that Andrew Yang already knows if he's been a part of a debate team, he knows all the parameters of how to debate. So even to us, if it doesn't look like he knows how to debate, he's probably, he's probably clearly does. Right. So, uh, that's going to be all interesting to watch. Well, I would love to hear what you guys got to say. Uh, if you like content like this, don't forget to like, subscribe, Real quick, let me plug Bitcoin NYK, my project. What does it do?

Now I got to tell y'all this, who watch the channel and our big UBI believers. We get thousands of visitors to these videos, to this content, uh, and it isn't reflecting and signing up, uh, over for the free universal basic income over the blockchain, which is— isn't going to cost you a dime. We're actually trying to give you money, trying to give you free money, right? And some of you guys still aren't signing up. So shame on you. You need to check that out, uh, get involved with that. If you don't understand blockchain technology, not a big deal. It's just a way of saying that we have basically a digital cryptocurrency, like a money, like a digital money. Like if you thought about something like PayPal, which will be able to go all the way around the world, not linked to one server in one country someplace, but computers and servers all over the globe that can deliver much-needed universal basic income to 80% of the globe. You need to join us. In this movement so that we can help make that possible. It is very brotherly, sisterly to the idea of universal basic income in the United States with the support of Andrew Yang.
